He'd experienced worse. He knew what to expect, and was ready to accept the final consequences for his actions. He couldn't admit defeat, refused to bend to another's will, and wouldn't relinquish his freedom of choice.
He'd finally won. He witnessed grief in the other's eyes, listened to desperate pleas falling from the other's lips, and only then did the Master smile as he closed his own eyes knowing-
There wasn't time.
That was a powerful way to end this. The Master found victory in death.
I also love the lyrical way you kept repeating there wasn't time. Being human, I think that's something that's always on our minds. How little time we truly have.
As always, thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you enjoyed this, it's a bit similar to the one I tried last week, although still maintaining a slightly different twist.
I just can't seem to get him out of my head. But then again, I'm not complaining.

He might not have asked for a pedestal but we both know *this* is exactly what he always wanted.
And he's exactly the type to cut off his nose to spite his face (and that's going to need a translation isn't it??)

I know he gloats a bit on the phone when he eggs the Doctor on a bit about watching Gallifrey burn. "You must have felt like a God" when in fact you know when he discovered they had resurrected him as the 'Ultimate Warrior' he was already thinking along those lines himself.
Sorry it's a bit late and I'm rambling...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)
